Romans 11:33 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 I ask, then, has God rejected his own people, the nation of Israel? Of course not! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham and a member of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 No, God has not rejected his own people, whom he chose from the very beginning. Do you realize what the Scriptures say about this? Elijah the prophet complained to God about the people of Israel and said,
3 "LORD, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too."
4 And do you remember God's reply? He said, "No, I have 7,000 others who have never bowed down to Baal!"
5 It is the same today, for a few of the people of Israel have remained faithful because of God's grace-- his undeserved kindness in choosing them.
6 And since it is through God's kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God's grace would not be what it really is-- free and undeserved.
7 So this is the situation: Most of the people of Israel have not found the favor of God they are looking for so earnestly. A few have-- the ones God has chosen-- but the hearts of the rest were hardened.
8 As the Scriptures say, "God has put them into a deep sleep. To this day he has shut their eyes so they do not see, and closed their ears so they do not hear."
9 Likewise, David said, "Let their bountiful table become a snare, a trap that makes them think all is well. Let their blessings cause them to stumble, and let them get what they deserve.
10 Let their eyes go blind so they cannot see, and let their backs be bent forever."
11 Did God's people stumble and fall beyond recovery? Of course not! They were disobedient, so God made salvation available to the Gentiles. But he wanted his own people to become jealous and claim it for themselves.
12 Now if the Gentiles were enriched because the people of Israel turned down God's offer of salvation, think how much greater a blessing the world will share when they finally accept it.
13 I am saying all this especially for you Gentiles. God has appointed me as the apostle to the Gentiles. I stress this,
14 for I want somehow to make the people of Israel jealous of what you Gentiles have, so I might save some of them.
15 For since their rejection meant that God offered salvation to the rest of the world, their acceptance will be even more wonderful. It will be life for those who were dead!
16 And since Abraham and the other patriarchs were holy, their descendants will also be holy-- just as the entire batch of dough is holy because the portion given as an offering is holy. For if the roots of the tree are holy, the branches will be, too.
17 But some of these branches from Abraham's tree-- some of the people of Israel-- have been broken off. And you Gentiles, who were branches from a wild olive tree, have been grafted in. So now you also receive the blessing God has promised Abraham and his children, sharing in the rich nourishment from the root of God's special olive tree.
18 But you must not brag about being grafted in to replace the branches that were broken off. You are just a branch, not the root.
19 "Well," you may say, "those branches were broken off to make room for me."
20 Yes, but remember-- those branches were broken off because they didn't believe in Christ, and you are there because you do believe. So don't think highly of yourself, but fear what could happen.
21 For if God did not spare the original branches, he won't spare you either.
22 Notice how God is both kind and severe. He is severe toward those who disobeyed, but kind to you if you continue to trust in his kindness. But if you stop trusting, you also will be cut off.
23 And if the people of Israel turn from their unbelief, they will be grafted in again, for God has the power to graft them back into the tree.
24 You, by nature, were a branch cut from a wild olive tree. So if God was willing to do something contrary to nature by grafting you into his cultivated tree, he will be far more eager to graft the original branches back into the tree where they belong.
25 I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters, so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ.
26 And so all Israel will be saved. As the Scriptures say, "The one who rescues will come from Jerusalem, and he will turn Israel away from ungodliness.
27 And this is my covenant with them, that I will take away their sins."
28 Many of the people of Israel are now enemies of the Good News, and this benefits you Gentiles. Yet they are still the people he loves because he chose their ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
29 For God's gifts and his call can never be withdrawn.
30 Once, you Gentiles were rebels against God, but when the people of Israel rebelled against him, God was merciful to you instead.
31 Now they are the rebels, and God's mercy has come to you so that they, too, will share in God's mercy.
32 For God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience so he could have mercy on everyone.
33 Oh, how great are God's riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!
34 For who can know the LORD's thoughts? Who knows enough to give him advice?
35 And who has given him so much that he needs to pay it back?
36 For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
1 I say G3004 V-PAI-1S then G3767 CONJ , Hath G3361 PRT-N God G2316 N-NSM cast away G683 V-ADI-3S his G3588 T-ASM people G2992 N-ASM ? God forbid G1096 V-2ADO-3S . For G1063 CONJ I G1473 P-1NS also G2532 CONJ am G1510 V-PXI-1S an Israelite G2475 N-NSM , of G1537 PREP the seed G4690 N-GSN of Abraham G11 N-PRI , of the tribe G5443 N-GSF of Benjamin G958 N-PRI .
2 God G2316 N-NSM hath not G3756 PRT-N cast away G683 V-ADI-3S his G3588 T-ASM people G2992 N-ASM which G3739 R-ASM he foreknew G4267 V-AAI-3S . Wot G1492 V-RAI-2P ye not G3756 PRT-N what G5101 I-ASN the G3588 T-NSF Scripture G1124 N-NSF saith G3004 V-PAI-3S of G1722 PREP Elijah G2243 N-DSM ? how G5613 ADV he G3588 T-DSM maketh intercession G1793 V-PAI-3S to God G2316 N-DSM against G2596 PREP Israel G2474 N-PRI , saying G3004 V-PAP-NSM ,
3 Lord G2962 N-VSM , they have killed G615 V-AAI-3P thy G3588 T-APM prophets G4396 N-APM , and G2532 CONJ digged down G2679 V-AAI-3P thine G3588 T-APN altars G2379 N-APN ; and I G2504 P-1NS-C am left G5275 V-API-1S alone G3441 A-NSM , and G2532 CONJ they seek G2212 V-PAI-3P my G3588 T-ASF life G5590 N-ASF .
4 But G235 CONJ what G5101 I-ASN saith G3004 V-PAI-3S the G3588 T-NSM answer of God G5538 N-NSM unto him G846 P-DSM ? I have reserved G2641 V-2AAI-1S to myself G1683 F-1DSM seven thousand G2035 A-APM men G435 N-APM , who G3748 R-NPM have not G3756 PRT-N bowed G2578 V-AAI-3P the G3588 T-DSF knee G1119 N-ASN to the image of Baal G896 N-PRI .
5 Even so G3779 ADV then G3767 CONJ at G1722 PREP this present G3568 ADV time G2540 N-DSM also G2532 CONJ there is G1096 V-2RAI-3S a remnant G3005 N-NSN according G2596 PREP to the election G1589 N-ASF of grace G5485 N-GSF .
6 And G1161 CONJ if G1487 COND by grace G5485 N-DSF , then is it no more G3765 ADV of G1537 PREP works G2041 N-GPN : otherwise G1893 CONJ grace G5485 N-NSF is G1096 V-PNI-3S no more G3765 ADV grace G5485 N-NSF . But G1161 CONJ if G1487 COND it be of G1537 PREP works G2041 N-GPN , then is G2076 V-PXI-3S it no more G3765 ADV grace G5485 N-NSF : otherwise G1893 CONJ work G2041 N-NSN is G2076 V-PXI-3S no more G3765 ADV work G2041 N-NSN .
7 What G5101 I-NSN then G3767 CONJ ? Israel G2474 N-PRI hath G5127 not G3756 PRT-N obtained G2013 V-2AAI-3S that which G3739 R-ASN he G3588 T-NSF seeketh for G3588 T-NSF ; but G1161 CONJ the G3588 T-NSF election G1589 N-NSF hath obtained G2013 V-2AAI-3S it , and G1161 CONJ the G3588 T-NPM rest G3062 A-NPM were blinded G4456 V-API-3P .
8 (According as G2531 ADV it G3588 T-NSM is written G1125 V-RPI-3S , God G2316 N-NSM hath given G1325 V-AAI-3S them G846 P-DPM the spirit G4151 N-ASN of slumber G2659 N-GSF , eyes G3788 N-APM that they should not G3361 PRT-N see G991 V-PAN , and G2532 CONJ ears G3775 N-APN that they should not G3361 PRT-N hear G191 V-PAN ; ) unto G2193 CONJ this G4594 ADV day G2250 N-GSF .
9 And G2532 CONJ David G1138 N-PRI saith G3004 V-PAI-3S , Let their G3588 T-NSF table G5132 N-NSF be made G1096 V-AOM-3S a G1519 PREP snare G3803 N-ASF , and G2532 CONJ a G1519 PREP trap G2339 N-ASF , and G2532 CONJ a G1519 PREP stumblingblock G4625 N-ASN , and G2532 CONJ a G1519 PREP recompense G468 N-ASN unto them G846 P-GPM :
10 Let their G3588 T-NPM eyes G3788 N-NPM be darkened G4654 V-APM-3P , that they may not G3361 PRT-N see G991 V-PAN , and G2532 CONJ bow down G4781 V-AAM-2S their G3588 T-ASM back G3577 N-ASM always G1275 ADV .
11 I say G3004 V-PAI-1S then G3767 CONJ , Have they G3361 PRT-N stumbled G4417 V-AAI-3P that G2443 CONJ they should fall G4098 V-2AAS-3P ? God forbid G1096 V-2ADO-3S : but G235 CONJ rather through their G848 fall G3900 N-DSN salvation G4991 N-NSF is come unto the G3588 T-DPN Gentiles G1484 N-DPN , for to provoke them to jealousy G3863 V-AAN .
12 Now G1161 CONJ if G1487 COND the G3588 T-NSN fall G3900 N-NSN of them G848 be the riches G4149 N-NSN of the world G2889 N-GSM , and G2532 CONJ the G3588 T-NSN diminishing G2275 N-NSN of them G848 the riches G4149 N-NSN of the Gentiles G1484 N-GPN ; how much G4214 Q-DSN more G3123 ADV their G3588 T-NSN fullness G4138 N-NSN ?
13 For G1063 CONJ I speak G3004 V-PAI-1S to you G3588 T-DPN Gentiles G1484 N-DPN , inasmuch as PREP I G1473 P-1NS am G1510 V-PXI-1S the apostle G652 N-NSM of the Gentiles G1484 N-GPN , I magnify G1392 V-PAI-1S mine G3588 T-ASF office G1248 N-ASF :
14 If by any means G1513 I may provoke to emulation G3863 V-AAS-1S them G3588 T-ASF which G3588 T-ASF are my G3588 T-ASF flesh G4561 N-ASF , and G2532 CONJ might save G4982 V-AAS-1S some G5100 X-APM of G1537 PREP them G846 P-GPM .
15 For G1063 CONJ if G1487 COND the G3588 T-NSF casting away G580 N-NSF of them G846 P-GPM be the reconciling G2643 N-NSF of the world G2889 N-GSM , what G5101 I-NSF shall the G3588 T-NSF receiving G4356 N-NSF of them be , but G1508 life G2222 N-NSF from G1537 PREP the dead G3498 A-GPM ?
16 For G1161 CONJ if G1487 COND the G3588 T-NSF firstfruit G536 N-NSF be holy G40 A-NSF , the G3588 T-NSN lump G5445 N-NSN is also G2532 CONJ holy : and G2532 CONJ if G1487 COND the G3588 T-NSF root G4491 N-NSF be holy G40 A-NSF , so G2532 CONJ are the G3588 T-NPM branches G2798 N-NPM .
17 And G1161 CONJ if G1487 COND some G5100 X-NPM of G3588 T-GPM the G3588 T-GPM branches G2798 N-GPM be broken off G1575 V-API-3P , and G1161 CONJ thou G4771 P-2NS , being G5607 V-PXP-NSM a wild olive tree G65 N-NSF , wert grafted in G1461 V-API-2S among G1722 PREP them G846 P-DPM , and G2532 CONJ with them G1096 V-2ADI-2S partakest G4791 A-NSM of G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GSF root G4491 N-GSF and G2532 CONJ fatness G4096 N-GSF of G3588 T-GSF the G3588 T-GSF olive tree G1636 N-GSF ;
18 Boast not against G2620 V-PNM-2S the G3588 T-GPM branches G2798 N-GPM . But G1161 CONJ if G1487 COND thou boast G2620 V-PNI-2S , thou G4771 P-2NS bearest G941 V-PAI-2S not G3756 PRT-N the G3588 T-ASF root G4491 N-ASF , but G235 CONJ the G3588 T-NSF root G4491 N-NSF thee G4571 P-2AS .
19 Thou wilt say G2046 V-FAI-2S then G3767 CONJ , The G3588 branches G2798 N-NPM were broken off G1575 V-API-3P , that G2443 CONJ I G1473 P-1NS might be grafted in G1461 V-APS-1S .
20 Well G2573 ADV ; because of unbelief G570 N-DSF they were broken off G1575 V-API-3P , and G1161 CONJ thou G4771 P-2NS standest G2476 V-RAI-2S by faith G4102 N-DSF . Be not highminded G5309 V-PAM-2S , but G235 CONJ fear G5399 V-PNM-2S :
21 For G1063 CONJ if G1487 COND God G2316 N-NSM spared G5339 V-ADI-3S not G3756 PRT-N the G3588 T-GPM natural G2596 PREP branches G2798 N-GPM , take heed lest G3381 CONJ he also spare G5339 V-ADI-3S not G3761 ADV thee G4675 P-2GS .
22 Behold G1492 V-AAM-2S therefore G3767 CONJ the goodness G5544 N-ASF and G2532 CONJ severity G663 N-ASF of God G2316 N-GSM : on PREP them which fell G4098 V-2AAP-APM , severity G663 N-ASF ; but G1161 CONJ toward G1909 PREP thee G4571 P-2AS , goodness G5544 N-ASF , if G1437 COND thou continue in G1961 V-AAS-3S his goodness G5544 N-DSF : otherwise G1893 CONJ thou G4771 P-2NS also G2532 CONJ shalt be cut off G1581 V-2FPI-2S .
23 And G1161 CONJ they G1565 D-NPM also G2532 CONJ , if they G3588 T-DSF abide not G3362 still in unbelief G570 N-DSF , shall be grafted in G1461 V-FPI-3P : for G3588 T-NSM God G2316 N-NSM is G2076 V-PXI-3S able G1415 A-NSM to graft them in V-AAN again G3825 ADV .
24 For G1063 CONJ if G1487 COND thou G4771 P-2NS wert cut G1581 V-2API-2S out G1537 PREP of the G3588 T-GSF olive tree which G3588 T-GSF is wild G65 N-GSF by G2596 PREP nature G5449 N-ASF , and G2532 CONJ wert grafted G1461 V-API-2S contrary G3844 PREP to nature G5449 N-ASF into G1519 PREP a good olive tree G2565 N-ASF : how much G4214 Q-DSN more G3123 ADV shall these G3778 D-NPM , which G3588 T-NPM be the natural G2596 PREP branches , be grafted into G1461 V-FPI-3P their own G2398 A-DSF olive tree G1636 N-DSF ?
25 For G1063 CONJ I would G2309 V-PAI-1S not G3756 PRT-N , brethren G80 N-VPM , that ye G5209 P-2AP should be ignorant G50 V-PAN of G3588 T-ASN this G3588 T-ASN mystery G3466 N-ASN , lest G3363 ye should be G5600 V-PXS-2P wise G5429 A-NPM in G3844 PREP your own conceits G1438 F-3DPM ; that G3754 CONJ blindness G4457 N-NSF in G575 PREP part G3313 N-GSN is happened G1096 V-2RAI-3S to Israel G2474 N-PRI , until G891 PREP the G3588 T-NSN fullness G4138 N-NSN of G3588 T-GPN the G3588 T-GPN Gentiles G1484 N-GPN be come in G1525 V-2AAS-3S .
